Unless the contrary is stated elsewhere in this agreement, The User shall have no rights in respect of quality of service, safe and good quality goods or implied warranty of quality beyond those explicitly stated in the aforementioned sections.

A transaction (as defined in the CPA) between The User and The Provider may, or may not, fall under the provisions of the CPA depending upon whether certain values set out in the next clause in respect of The User (Threshold Values) are below a certain value at the time the transaction is entered into.

the Customer warrants that any statement made to the Provider in respect of its Threshold Values is accurate;

if the Customer claims that all the Threshold Values are below the relevant value, or otherwise, that the CPA applies to the transaction in question, the Provider may at its instance require the Customer to provide it with financial statements as proof thereof;

If the Customer misstates the Threshold Values in such a way that the Provider considers for a period that the transaction is subject the CPA when it is not, all provisions of this agreement, that do not apply to transactions subject to the CPA, shall retroactively apply to the transaction in question, and the Customer shall be liable for any damage sustained by the Provider resulting from such misstatement.
